Use the bimini legs and make a normal fig 8 to fig 8 connection,so you'll have the .55 mono doubled and youre 0.9mm single,you could also use all 3 legs of the bimini but I only use the 2 legs

hope this helps

You should be able to knot those Diameter line easily .


I use A Spider hitch to a Albright . or A spyker knot .


But have a good browse in the knot section , there are plenty of options.


And just tie them over and over , until they are neat and you are satisfied .
